What's weird is Molina gets a ring no matter what.
Doesn't he technically get three? The two LCS rings and a world series ring.
World Series Champions don't get LCS rings. Kind of redundant...
This is his time to shine in a cameo appearance on "Pawn Stars" making some extra cash for the prost's in Vegas.
I vaguely remember one of the Blue Jays colour commentators saying he had an ALCS ring, but he doesn't wear it because he also had the WS ring from that year.

Sucks about Miller. Damn good commentator - especially for SNB.
Gary Thorne is decent. Makes games real exciting. I hear him a lot for O's games.(there's a team I'd like to see turn it around)

Jeter has no leverage, Jeter knows it, Close knows it and obviously the Yankees and Cashman know it. I hope they will throw him a few extra dollars to make him feel a little better about things. Maybe 3 years 17 a year with a tough option for a 4th year.
Yup. You got it norm. Watch Theo throw a deal out to Jeter just to piss off the Yankees. Would that be the end of the world if #2 played his final years in Boston? I'd have no problem embracing him in our universe.
By the way, kudos to Theo for not extending the money and years to Vic Martinez. Have fun playing for a 3rd place team the next 5 years.

Other than Davids Cone and Wells, nobody's ever really switched from the Yanks to the Sox, but many have gone the other way. How devastating would that be for Yankees fans if their beloved captain played in Fenway? I'm giddy just thinking about it, even though Jeter is clearly not the same Jeter as a few years ago.

If I were a sox fan I'd rather have beltre
I think I read Beltre is looking at a 5 year deal? Damn, kind of crazy what 1 awesome year can do.

Agreed. They offered him arbitration today, so if he signs elsewhere, we get 2 first rounders. I'm not as high on Beltre as everyone else. On the other hand, the prospect of Jed Lowrie playing 3rd all next season scares me. I think Beltre might be back in Boston, but we all know he's signing a stupidly large contract with a west coast team.

he's still pretty young right? 29, 30ish? I don't think 5 years is all that excessive.
Saw lee wants 7 years from the yanks. I hope cashman is figuring out a nice way to tell him to go F himself

Yeah, I think he may be 31 or so, so 5 years is not all that much, but I am just saying until this past season, there was no shot he was getting a deal close to that.
Yeah, I read he was hoping for a 7th. That's not going to happen either. Read this morning his agents don't think he has a shot at the 7th year. If the Rangers want to give him 7 years, go for it. Won't happen.

Yeah, that's an abritration no brainer. I think he will be on the west coast too.
Does $12 mil a year for Victor Martinez seem a little low? 5 years is probably too much but if a hitter like Huff gets $11 shouldn't Martinez get more?

Good point. Especially since Vic can catch, play first and DH. Theo's comments on WEEI last week I thought were very telling when he said Jarrod Saltalamaccia has a promising future in Boston. He's only 25 and I think can be very productive playing in Fenway. I just think Theo was adamantly opposed to the 5 years others were willing to give.

FF, I know you mentioned 2 first round picks if beltre leaves. that's not necessarily the case. Here's an article that breaks down how FA compensation works. it's kind of phillies centric, but it breaks down the complicated process pretty well.

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification, Fixer. I always wondered what that supplemental round was for.
The compensation for a "Type A" player who signs elsewhere as a free agent is two draft picks. One pick is in the supplemental round, which falls between the first and second round. The other pick is the highest unprotected selection of the team that signs the Type A free agent. The top 15 picks in the first round of the draft are protected. Because of compensation picks for the Diamondbacks, Padres and Brewers in this year's first round, the top 18 picks are actually protected. If a team with a protected first round pick signed Werth, the Phillies would receive that team's second-round pick.
And my 2cents on Werth is the Phillies are better off in the long run without him.
